SANITARY PUMP BASE AND BRACKET FOR SINKS.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented May 27, 1919.

Application filed June 9, 1917. Serial No. 173,769.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, HARVEY J. DIVEKEY,

a citizen of the United States, and a resident of the city of Aurora, county of Kane, and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Sanitary Pump Bases and Brackets for Sinks, of which the following is a specification.

My present invention consists of a sink provided with a base, which constitutes a part of and also supplies facilities for supporting small hand pumps in convenient relation to the sink.

The principal object of my invention is the provision of a sink having a supporting base or bracket made integral therewith, whereby the pump standard may be conveniently and rigidly mounted upon the edge of said sink, or upon a stationary laundrytub, basin, or the like, andthus avoid the unsanitary conditions that arise when the pump base is a separate element and clamped upon the sink and avoid accumulations of dirt and other matter settling around the joints. Another object of my invention consists in the novel construction of this base Or bracket whereby the lower valve of the pump may be made readily accessible in order to eliminate a considerable portion of the labor ordinarily necessary to knock down or disassemble the pump with respect to the sink. Another object of my invention is to provide a sink with an integral bracket or shelf which constitutes the base proper of the pump and upon which the other elements of the pump are adapted to be mounted, said shelf also providing a drip apron for the pump.

Other advantages will be obvious after an understanding of my invention is had, among which are economy of construction, dependability of operation and simplicity as regards the number of parts employed.

I prefer to accomplish the divers objects of my invention in substantially the manner hereinafter set forth, reference being made to the accompanying drawings forming a part of this specification, in which,-

Figure 1 is a longitudinal front elevation of a kitchen sink, showing my improvements applied thereto.

Fig. 2 is a fragmental longitudinal vertical section of the pump base drawn to an enlarged scale.

. Fig. 3 is a top plan thereof, the pump barrel being shown in section.

Fig. 4 is a fragmental end elevation of the pump base.

i In the drawings I have illustrated a sink 5 of the ordinary'type for domestic uses, the upper edges whereof are provided with rolled-over flanges 6 that extend around the same and the rearportion whereof merges into an upright splashboard adapted to protect the wall. At one end of the sink this rolled edge 6 merges into an integral bracket 7 that extends laterally outwardly therefrom in a horizontal plane slightly above the up per edge of the sink, said bracket having its outer edge rolled over or turned down as shown at 8 in Fig. 2 of the drawings, and the upper portion of the same adjacent the edge of the sink slopes downwardly to form a drip apron 9 over the rolled edge 6. The outer end portion of the bracket is semicircular or curved, as shown in Fig. 3, and suitable side flanges, 1010, are provided along the edges of the drip apron, which drip apron 9 extends from the central portion of the bracket downwardly to its juncture with the sink so as to secure drainage into the latter. The central portion of the bracket is provided with an opening 11, the upper edge whereof is rabbeted to provide an annular shoulder 12. Suitable apertured embossments 13 are made upon the opposite sides of the opening 11 to receive clamping bolts, as will hereinafter more fully appear.

A collar 14, into which the well pipe 15 is secured, is provided with a valve seat 16 adjacent its upper end, that is of a diameter suflicient to permit itto rest upon the shoulder 12 heretofore mentioned and to lie flush with the upper surface of the integral bracket 7 A suitable flapper-valve is preferably placed upon this seat 16 of the collar 14, and comprises a disk 17 of leather or other suitable flexible material, that is provided with a concentrierecess 18 adjacent the edge, which extends sufliciently to provide the semi-detached central portion or lobe 19 to rest upon and cover the opening in the upper end of the collar 14. A weight 20'is secured by a screw or in any other suitable manner, upon the central lobe 19, so asto assist in keeping the latter normally in contact with'the valve seat on the collar and thereby close the opening.

Superimposedupon the outer edge of the Washer or disk 17, isthe annular collar 21,

preferably of circular outline and provided threaded ends ofthe bolts, the collar 21' Will be pressed tightly against the disk 17 and thereby look the parts together pon the bracket or base 7 in a rigid and neat manner;

The usual piunp cylinder 25 is secured by threading, sW'agifig, sweating or ethei wise,

in the annular collar er ring 21 the" um is thus mounted complete upon the bracket in a manner so that it may bereadily taken down for repair er i eplaeement of any of the operatingparts.

I dehetdeeiie tebelimited to the precise eoiietmictieii of my device shewh in the drawings; whieh are merely diagrammatic for the rease'ii that it is obvious man slight modifieatidns at the structure therein may be niade. I therefore desireit understeed that any such medifieatiens are conte'm plated as being included With-in the scope of my invention as expressed, in the appended claim.

What I claim as new is V I Pump inoiinting means comprising a sink, ani-ntegrallateral extension projecting horizontally from the upper edge of one the sides of said sink, said extension being shaped to provide a drip into the sink and having a central opening, a Well pipe terminating adjacent said opening, a sleeve threaded on saidp'ipe and havinga disklike flange at its: upper end that rests on a shoulder fenned in said opening whereby said ipe is sup-parted, a pum standard: the lower end wh reet is rovided with a eel in having lateral lugs and: (reacting with said fien e, a: gasket and flapper-twelve posed between said flange the pui pfi members above the same; and damping belts passed through said Luge andxeaid tehsion'ivhereby water-tight cdmietioii is made between said standard and the sink extension and said pump issupported solely by the latter. s. 7 I
